Barking Mad at Honolulu Airport's animal quarantine office

[thisbloominglife]

Jasmine728 - I certainly don't claim to be an airline procedure/flight expert - just sharing what I was told by one of the Live Animal reps of Continental. This page talks about what they offer: Continental Airlines - Traveling with Animals

Anything is possible, but I highly doubt they'd tell me (and presumably coutless other customers/potential customers) a flat out lie. That would be not only unethical but also highly illegal.

Unless you were only talking about one airport and a specific direct flight.

Continentel transfers pets while on the ground in air conditioned vans.... They aren't lying to anyone.

You could always get a pet from Australia, Guam, England or I think it is also New Zealand. They don't have any rabies so you can bring in a pet without any quarantine restrictions.

My sister-in-law brought in her dog when the 120 day quarantine was in effect. THAT was a huge hassle as well as horribly expensive. Now it is just "merely" horribly expensive so at least now it is just half as bad.
